Landscape Plans
How to Draw Landscape Plans
You say that you'd like to learn how to draw landscape plans? This article aimed at do-it-yourselfers shows you how. I try to keep it simple, telling you just enough to get you started, without overwhelming the novice.
Plan for Sunny Perennial Beds
Is there a spot on your property that is pounded by sunshine all day long? If you currently have trouble growing anything there, consider switching to drought-tolerant plants. This article will inform you about sun-loving plants suitable for such a landscape plan, replete with a link to a sample drawing.
Landscape Plan for Wet Areas
Are you challenged by a boggy location? Most plants need better drainage than such a spot can offer to survive. In my sample plan I have installed mainly natives of the northeastern U.S. (my home), because they are the best-adapted to such areas in my region. But your local county extension or wildflower society can propose suitable substitutions.
Sample Plan for Shady Areas
To plant successfully in shady areas, you will have to narrow your choices down to specimens adapted to lower light levels. Following the picture of a landscape plan supplied here, you can make your plant selection fit the conditions, not vice versa. This is one of the samples I generated using software.
Free Landscape Design Plan: The Deer-Proof Border
This free plan will show you how to design a border of deer-resistant plants. The landscaping plan is supplemented by descriptions of the plants appropriate for your deer-proof border. Tips are also included on how to draw plans of your own. Simply download and print out the sample to use as a guideline for your plantings.
Create Landscape Plans With Design Software
Do you prefer to draw out your plans freehand or with software? I admit that I was skeptical of using software, at first. I have tried a few programs, and, while I still cannot be bothered with software, for the most part, Realtime Landscaping Pro software is the most effective program I have used. Read my review to see why.
Types of Flowers: What to Grow Where
This resource is a companion piece to the sample landscape plans offered above for dry areas, wet areas, shady areas, and locations haunted by deer. It brings all the information together into one place and, with its sister articles covering these topics in detail, will help you decide what to grow where in your yard.
Help With Drawing Your Landscape Plans: How to Sketch
Helen South, About's Guide to Drawing / Sketching, is a great source for tips on how to improve your sketching abilities. If you merely wish to learn how to sketch, start here; you may even find that you have an artistic flair! If, instead, you require practical information about sketching basic landscape plans, please see the links below.
Sample Landscape Plan
This sample landscape plan shows what a bubble diagram looks like. My example exhibits the characteristic circular and oblong shapes of the bubble diagram. This is the most basic type of drawing, but it can be useful to beginners and to those who do not wish to spend a lot of time drawing.
How To Draw Landscape Plans
This is a detailed presentation from Texas A&M showing how to draw plans (examples provided). The author even provides the symbols commonly used by professionals. The updated version focuses on "sustainability." The Plant Selector feature will be useful to those in need of help specifically with landscaping in Texas.


text: Since many of us can remember, we were told how we should be, what we should be, and exactly when we should become these things. And when we finally do, many of us wake up wondering, "Is this what I've always wanted? How did I get here? Who was this all for?" And some of us, sadly, are nowhere near what we truly wanted for ourselves. Being true to ourselves is about our actions coming into alignment with exactly who we have always wanted to be, for ourselves and no one else. "BU4U" is a reminder to be yourself, for your self.

"Robot Cars Drive Themselves!" Pretty grabby headline, right? Throw in a few million dollars, a lot of publicity, and you've got a great story. The TV footage is compelling: brightly colored vehicles without drivers, bristling with cameras and sensors, driving themselves over dunes, down rutted trails--and, late this month, through simulated suburbs and city centers, in the US $2 million DARPA Urban Challenge.
There's just one problem with the imagery: the technologies likely to win the Challenge--those expensive cameras and sensors--probably won't be the ones that let future passenger vehicles "drive themselves." Instead, automakers expect that cars of the future will pay less attention to the lay of the land and more to each other, informing other vehicles about what they're doing several times each second by transmitting data that cars today already gather, via cheap wireless transponders roughly equivalent to your US $40 Wi-Fi router.
DARPA's interests are not in replacing commuters but in providing new and better technology for waging war. The appeal of an autonomous tank or rocket launcher is obvious: without soldiers inside, the potential casualties are reduced to zero. And the Department of Defense is under a 2015 deadline for making 30 percent of the U.S. military's land vehicles autonomous.
The challenge is substantial. An autonomous military vehicle must negotiate every kind of terrain: sandy desert, muddy forest, and dense urban core. To a tank, everything is a potentially hostile obstacle. Aside from its own location, tracked via the Global Positioning System, it has to figure out where everything in its surroundings is in real time.
Passenger cars, on the other hand, operate in far more limited circumstances: they stay on roads, almost all paved. They have no need to hide themselves, operate stealthily, or attack other objects. (In fact, making themselves known leads to avoidance, and hence safety.) And there are 250 million vehicles in the United States alone, according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, so traveling at high speeds among many adjacent moving objects with constantly changing trajectories is crucial.
Modern cars are stuffed with microprocessors and electronic control units that process data from a huge variety of sensors in the engine, transmission, suspension, and other systems--and then deliver the right blend of performance, fuel economy, and safety. Already, many traction-control systems simply ignore what drivers ask the car to do if the actions would cause the car to skid. Their sensors, though, are limited to the mechanical phenomena the car itself is experiencing.
Several safety systems have now added environmental data to the mix. Adaptive cruise control, from Mercedes-Benz and others, is one. It uses radar to calculate the distance to the car ahead and that car's velocity and adjusts its own speed to maintain a safe distance at all times--braking right down to a standstill and then accelerating back to highway speeds.
Another is the Volvo Blind-spot Information System (BLIS), which scans the area around a car's rear corners with side-mounted cameras and alerts the driver if there's a vehicle present. A third is Infiniti's Lane Departure Warning system: it calculates the edges of the lane from images captured by a video camera behind the windshield and alerts the driver if the vehicle is about to drift too far.
All of these systems still presume a vehicular environment that's mute. And that's one thing that will change over the next 10 years. Several initiatives around the world are considering standards for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, in which new cars would be fitted with low-cost, short-range wireless transmitters. They would continuously alert surrounding vehicles (as well as elements of the highway infrastructure) to the vehicle's trajectory, the driver's actions, perhaps even the car's ultimate destination. The infrastructure, in turn, would alert cars to accidents, congestion, speed zones, vehicles nearing crossroads, and other conditions ahead.

A NEW MEETING OF COMPANIES SANITIZING BEER PIPES IN RESTAURANTS/BARS/PUBS WILL TAKE PLACE IN PRAZDROJ (Translation)
9 October 2009
Plzeň October 8, 2009 - Tomorrow, in the Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery, a historical meeting of specialists who provide sanitation of beer equipment in restaurants/bars/pubs will take place. Plzeňský Prazdroj started a complete care program for beer pipes in restaurants/bars/pubs which serve brands from its portfolio throughout the Czech Republic. About 500 experts from 370 companies will tour the brewery and will talk with brewers from Plzeň about beer quality. But foremost, people from Plzeňský Prazdroj would like to thank them for their cooperation in their ambition to attain the highest quality of beer on tap.
These days, a bartender can already influence beer quality in eight areas. These include, for example, thorough cleaning of glasses, temperature of served beer, correct pouring of beer or regular cleaning of pipes. If the bartender takes all these steps, costumers get beer of superior quality on their table, same as when it left the brewery. Based on a survey conducted by Plzeňský Prazdroj, about 96% of consumers consider cleaning of beer pipes to be a very important factor which influences taste and quality of beer. On the other hand, 64% of surveyed subjects are wrong in feeling that it is sufficient to clean beer pipes only scarcely and irregularly. But, if beer pipes aren't regularly sanitized, if they aren't rinsed with water, and if beer tap handles and couplers aren't cleaned, microorganisms can start spreading. The beer first darkens a little and finally it could go bad.
"During tomorrow's meeting, we would mainly like to show our thanks to people from sanitation companies, who set out on a daily basis to visit Czech restaurants/bars/pubs and have a tremendous influence on the fact that beer is of superior quality in Czech restaurants/bars/pubs. We have come a long way in the last ten years and that isn't only in the amount of restaurants/bars/pubs which are now equipped to be sanitized, but mainly in regards to awareness about beer quality. Also bartenders are well aware of the fact that they can attract beer drinkers only with a perfectly served glass of beer, which can be influenced by the smallest details. We, in the brewery, brew superior-quality beer and people in sanitation companies and bartenders ensure that the beer is superior in quality when customers get it," says Zdeněk Rais, specialist on quality of beer on tap at Plzeňský Prazdroj.
Every day bartenders should rinse the whole system with water, including the tap handles and couplers. Sanitation is the thorough rinsing and disinfection of beer pipes conducted by an authorized company; this should be done 1x week, not more than every 14 days assuming that daily rinsing of the beer pipes takes place.
"This year Plzeňský Prazdroj celebrates a ten-year anniversary of care for beer quality in the form of a promotion providing regular sanitation in restaurants. We get a lot of help especially from specialists from companies specializing in sanitation. Tomorrow, I would like to personally thank them that they, together with us, take care of the Czech beer culture." Václav Berka, brewer from Plzeňský Prazdroj, is looking forward to the first meeting of sanitation companies.
Notes to editors:
- With total sale of 10.7 million hectoliters in the 2008 calendar year (including licensed production abroad) and with export to more than 50 countries, Plzeňský Prazdroj is the biggest producer of beer in the region and the biggest exporter of Czech beer.
- Plzeňský Prazdroj, a. s., is a member of the SABMiller PLC Pilsner Urquell global group. It is an international flagship of SABMiller brands.
- SABMiller PLC is one of biggest beer companies in the world, with activities and distribution in more than 60 countries on six continents. SABMiller brands include important international brands such as Miller Genuine Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Pilsner Urquell, and close to 200 successful regional and national brands.

Question by TC 3 341 · Apr 11 '12 at 11:09 AM · hollywood celebrities gluten-free sad
And the SAD dieticians are already voicing their opinions.
I think it's important to note in this case that Miley Cyrus has considerable influence over a younger generation (versus another famous icon like Bill Clinton) and I'm curious how this is going to play out.

Answer by Nemesis 11517 · Apr 11 '12 at 11:25 AM
PROCESSED FOODS are the real culprit. All this gluten-free craze is going to do is encourage otherwise gluten-tolerant people to buy expensive GF cakes, cookies, pasta, condiments, etc. All of which are still loaded with sugars and preservatives.
They are not seeing the bigger picture.
Ugh, those dieticians who commented in the article are morons.
EDIT: The gluten-free trend is akin to the sugar-free one. Just because there isn't any "sugar" in it (replaced by sweeteners or sugar alcohols), doesn't mean it's healthy and that one can binge on Snack Wells' devil's food cake cookies! Grrrr!
Answer by Jenny 9 247 · Apr 11 '12 at 11:44 AM
Honestly, people get all "peoplez be eating the gluten-free for trendiness, what trendsters! I'm no hipster, I do it for the health".
I say, this is a good thing. So what if they are still eating processed food, it takes baby steps to change your eating and I think that a lot of people cutting out gluten may be able to show themselves how much better the feel without gluten in their diet. I think that the trajectory of the organics and gluten-free movements are opening up doors in preparation to move towards a more whole-foods based diet, which is excellent. Dietitians and paleohackers a like call these people sheep, for completely different reasons, and I think they are both missing the point. People are cutting out GLUTEN, something we KNOW a huge portion of the population is completely intolerant to. When has that become a bad thing? The ball starts rolling with a push, and I've met so many people who have tried going gluten free on a whim and have experienced increased clarity, better skin, less digestive troubles, and a flat stomach for the first time in their life- and that is JUST with removing gluten, even if it is partially replaced by a less harmful, but still pretty useless, alternative grain.
Answer by Kelly 11 97 · Apr 11 '12 at 04:04 PM
As someone who was 40 before she finally figured out how horrible gluten was for her health I only can say that if any young person figures it out for themselves and saves them from 20 years of ill health and unnecessary medical procedures and misdiagnoses and bad treatment from medical professionals, then Miley did a major service. Good for her.
Answer by Joe 12 49 · Apr 11 '12 at 01:33 PM
"Rachel Begun, a registered dietitian and food industry consultant, told Today's Health that only those who have been diagnosed with a gluten-related disorder should go on a gluten-free diet."
–Really? Why Rachel?
"People who go gluten-free may gain weight if they rely mostly on highly-processed gluten free foods, many of which tend to be higher in fat, calories and sugar than their gluten-containing counterparts."
–The types of foods most people would replace with has nothing to do with gluten, and it's effects Rachel.
"There's absolutely no evidence that a gluten-free diet promotes weight loss," Ansel explained. "However, there is data that indicates that following a gluten-free diet can result in a diet that's low in key nutrients -- especially iron, zinc and B vitamins such as folate and niacin
–Really? Is that so Karen? Sources for iron http://www.mckinley.illinois.edu/handouts/dietary_sources_iron.html Sources for zinc http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Zinc-HealthProfessional/ Sources for folate http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/folate-HealthProfessional/ Sources for niacin http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-high-in-niacin-vitamin-B3.php
Answer by Carl_Stawicki 13421 · Apr 11 '12 at 11:33 AM
I'm mixed on issues like this.
We all heard about paleo from someone else before trying it, but decided for ourselves to continue after seeing results. I won't knock someone for trying gluten-free after hearing about it from someone like Miley as long as they continue with it for legitimate reasons.
Answer by Lutfisk 2535 · Apr 11 '12 at 03:08 PM
Judging by the comments on the link, people are just as dumb as I thought. Why is the automatic assumption that by cutting gluten, you have to buy expensive gluten free replacement crap?
"It's so expensive to eat gluten-free. I had to take a meal to a girl in my church after she'd had a baby, and she has celiac disease. A tiny frozen pizza was $11!! Cookies were $5 for this tiny bag. It cost me almost $30 for her whole meal."
Why is this girl eating gluten free pizza and cookies for a meal??

This case is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Forest Service and the Alpine County Sheriff's Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard J. Bender is prosecuting the case.
According to testimony presented at trial, the defendant was arrested on Aug.11, watering plants in a large marijuana grow site for more than 5,000 plants in a remote area of the National Forest in Alpine County, Calif. The grow operation was discovered during aircraft fly-overs of the area during fire suppression efforts in a nearby forest fire. A team of U.S. Forest Service and Alpine County Sheriff's Deputies went into the site to investigate the grow operation and located the defendant. At the time of his arrest, Reyes was armed with a .9 mm Beretta semi-automatic handgun and more than 50 rounds of ammunition. An illegal campsite at the grow location showed that three or four persons had likely been working at the site. It was estimated that each plant would have produced about 1 pound of marijuana when mature, with a street value of about $5 million. However, the plants were about a month away from maturity when located and eradicated.
U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers with experience in planning and executing the clean up of these marijuana grow sites on forest service property estimated the eventual cost to clean up the trash and materials left behind, including removal of an earthen stream dam, campsite, thousands of feet of irrigation hose and debris, to be about $40,000. Because of the remote location of the site and rugged terrain, helicopters must be used to bring out much of the material.
The defendant is scheduled to be sentenced by Mueller at 10 a.m. May 19. While the maximum penalty is life in prison, the actual sentence will be determined at the discretion of the judge after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. Garciat faces a statutory mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison on a marijuana conspiracy charge and a mandatory consecutive five years in prison on a gun charge.

Though "HD" has become common parlance, rest assured that the HD part of Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD does not, in fact, involve a television. In this case we're talking the old-fashioned meaning of HD: "Heavy Duty." The 2500HD is a true workhorse meant for big-league power, towing and hauling capabilities.
For years, Chevy trucks were soundly criticized for their lackluster cabins filled with hard plastics and poor fit and finish. The Silverado's most recent redesign introduced a radically improved interior that enhanced the big pickup's desirability (though it's starting to feel a little stark compared to newer rivals). Even so, it will always be this truck's durability and tremendous hauling and towing abilities that have kept generations of Chevy loyalists coming back to the gold bowtie. For an intermediate heavy-duty pickup, it's hard to go wrong with the Silverado 2500HD.
Current Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
The Silverado 2500HD is available in regular-, extended- or crew cab designs, with a long or short wheelbase and with rear- or four-wheel drive. The extended and crew-cab body styles are offered in three trim levels: Work Truck, LT and the top-line LTZ. The regular cabin can only be had in Work Truck and LT trims.
Standard on all Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD pickups is a 6.0-liter V8 that makes 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can add a bi-fuel option, which allows this engine to run on either gasoline or compressed natural gas (CNG). When operating with CNG, power output drops to 301 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. The optional Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 makes 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. That powerhouse is paired with a beefier Allison six-speed automatic transmission.
In a comparison test of heavy-duty pickups, the mechanically identical GMC Sierra HD came out on top against its Dodge and Ford competitors. Though we found its cabin less inviting, the big GM trucks' recently revised frame, suspension and diesel engines proved hard to beat. Although multigenerational brand loyalty may dictate what heavy-duty pickup you take home, sticking with (or switching to) the Silverado 2500HD is a solid decision.
Used Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
The present-generation Chevy Silverado 2500HD debuted for 2007. Even though its appearance has remained largely unchanged, 2500HD models produced prior to 2011 lacked the stronger, fully boxed frame, beefier suspension components and additional electronic aids added for that model year. The Duramax diesel engine also produced 365 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque, as compared to the current model's more powerful iteration. Prior to 2010, the 6.0-liter gasoline V8 produced 353 hp and 373 lb-ft of torque. Other changes have been minor, most notably consisting of an optional rearview camera for 2009 and the current truck's CNG fueling option.
The previous-generation Silverado 2500HD was sold from 2001-'06 and lived on for one additional year as the "Classic." There was a heavy-duty package available for the light-duty Silverado 2500 in 1999 and 2000.
In terms of updates, there were changes made to exterior and interior styling for 2003, with further exterior tweaks for 2005. These trucks came in standard, Work Truck (after 2003), LS and LT trim levels. The standard engine was a 6.0-liter V8 that made 300 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque. There were two optional engines: an 8.1-liter gasoline V8 producing 340 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque and a 6.6-liter turbodiesel producing 300 hp and 520 lb-ft.
This diesel was upgraded in 2006 for more power (360 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque), added refinement and fewer emissions. These engines carried over for the Classic. A five-speed manual transmission was standard with the 6.0-liter V8, with a four-speed automatic optional. The 8.1-liter V8 and the 6.6-liter diesel came with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic (which became a six-speed for 2006).
As with the current Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, we were always impressed by this generation's powerful engine lineup and substantial towing and hauling abilities. It was a reasonably comfortable truck for everyday use, but don't expect the plush ride of its light-duty siblings. Any of the three available engines will provide swift acceleration and ample towing power, but the diesel V8 is probably the best choice for those who tow heavy loads -- especially the more powerful 2006 Duramax. Our principal beef concerns the shoddy interior design, materials and build quality. Chevy improved it gradually during its lifespan, but it was never quite up to snuff.
Prior to this, Chevrolet heavy-duty pickups ran from 1988-2000 and were simply known by their number nomenclature -- 2500 (3/4-ton) and 3500 (1-ton). In keeping with tradition, one could choose either rear-wheel drive (indicated by a "C", e.g. "C2500") or four-wheel drive (indicated by a "K"). Trim levels for these C/K2500 trucks include the base Cheyenne and top-line Silverado, which later changed to base and LS for 1999. Strengths of these trucks include strong, durable powertrains, while weaknesses center on sketchy build quality and materials within the cabin.

I spent several days in Buenos Aires last week which was fantastic—great fun and really helpful in terms of understanding what's happening in the e-commerce market. Wednesday was the annual E-commerce Day event: It was packed with well over a thousand people in the audience. I presented on global e-commerce trends that are set to impact the market in Argentina, and also met with a number of online retailers.
A handful of takeaways from these conversations:
E-commerce in Argentina is still at an early stage. There is tremendous interest in driving e-commerce in Argentina, but the real growth is yet to come. Today's roughly $2 billion online retail market is dominated by MercadoLibre, with traditional retailers like Falabella, Garbarino and Walmart increasingly making the online channel a priority. Newer entrants like Dafiti are also carving out a niche in categories such as apparel.
Intra-regional cross-border e-commerce is very limited today. There was much discussion about cross-border e-commerce with China, but today little cross-border e-commerce exists within Latin America itself. Online retailers are anxious to tap into consumers in other countries in the region, but few have made concerted efforts in this area.
Most mobile initiatives are relatively new and focused exclusively on smartphones. Most online retailers' mobile initiatives are in their infancy in Argentina. Many larger retailers are just rolling out mobile offerings (both apps and websites), and virtually all are focused on smartphones rather than tablets.
Delivery timeframes are typically in the one-week range. Unlike in Brazil where consumers in the major cities have been led to expect free one- or two-day delivery timeframes, in Argentina, online retailers don't face the same challenge of meeting these high consumer expectations around delivery times.
Product selection is often cited as a hurdle to e-commerce. In several conversations, the issue of the limited number of brands available in the country came up as impacting the growth of e-commerce. Current import restrictions means that not all foreign brands are available, and often only a limited number of models or styles are offered. There is a sense that there will need to be a broader product selection available online in order to convince consumers to buy.
Other issues such as credit card payments also challenge e-commerce in Argentina, yet there is optimism that the opportunity is substantial and we've barely scratched the surface. At Forrester, we'll be looking at this market in greater depth this fall as we update our online retail forecast for Latin America.

Last year at the Motor City Bowl, now the Little Caesars Bowl this picture was taken. Photographed here are my brother and his Central Michigan University college roommates, along with our uncle a former Chippewas himself. For the fourth year in a row my brother will ask, for his birthday present from our family, to go tailgate in the freezing cold on his birthday for the Little Caesars Bowl. Every year we go down, my Uncle sets up in his usual Detroit Lions tailgating spot and cooks us up a breakfast pizza. We laugh, eat and try to stay warm from early in the morning until game time. This year is rather special due to the particular faith my older brother has in his football team. While two of my brothers attended Central Michigan University, my oldest brother and I are Michigan State graduates. We spent almost a decade tailgating for Spartan games in the same spot with the same family friends. For years we debated whose football team could beat who, and we finally got our match up earlier this fall. Our usual Spartan tailgate host was a proud fan of his team while my brother was faithful to his school. My brother made a wager on the game, betting a year of cutting our family friend's lawn if the Spartans won versus a special birthday tailgate for the Little Caesars Bowl if they lost. As crazy as it sounds, my brother did not take the spread he was offered which was at least two touchdowns I believe, and instead made the bet straight up. Fortunately for my brother the Spartans were defeated by Dan LeFevour and the Chippewas. So now for his birthday, for the fourth straight year, our family will be heading down to Detroit to tailgate and cheer on the Central Michigan Chippewas. The only difference will be a special birthday tailgate in my brother's honor due to his confidence and school pride. I could think of nothing better to give to my brother on his birthday, then the Little Caesars Bowl Prize Pack. Where else are you going to find a bet consisting of lawn care versus tailgate set ups, based on only the pride each person has for his or her school? College Football...There's Nothing Like It.
For The Fourth Year

I'm not very updated in the event-driven/concurrency area in node.js. I wonder, is it possible that node.js would replace Ruby on Rails completely in the future?
Or is it more like an extension to Ruby on Rails for the real time features?
I'm not very updated in the event-driven/concurrency area in node.js. I wonder, is it possible that node.js would replace Ruby on Rails completely in the future?
Or is it more like an extension to Ruby on Rails for the real time features?
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "could replace". Ruby on Rails and Node.js really have nothing to do with each other, so it doesn't make sense to compare them. Ruby is a programming language and Rails is a web application framework. Node.js is neither a language nor an application framework, it's an asynchronous I/O library.
There are asynchronous I/O libraries for Ruby as well, like EventMachine or Cool.IO for example. And of course there's Twisted for Python, Async, Event and EV for Perl, Rx for .NET, Async Computation Expressions for F# and libaio, libevent and libev for C. (BTW: Node.js is actually implemented using libev.) Node.js isn't even the only such library for ECMAScript, there's a port of Rx for ECMAScript as well. It would make much more sense to compare those to Node.js than Ruby on Rails.
(If you really want to compare Ruby on Rails to something, compare it to Express.js, which is a web framework built on top of Node.js. Although it actually is more akin to Sinatra or maybe Padrino than Rails. Otherwise the comparison doesn't make sense: the only thing that Ruby on Rails and Node.js have in common is that both are Turing-complete, and in some sense everything that is Turing-complete can replace everything else, but that's not a particularly useful result.)
So, Node.js really is nothing special. Evented I/O has been around for a very long time, and there are many stable and mature (much more so than Node.js, in fact!) implementations for just about any language on earth. In fact, Node.js itself actually uses libev and libeio.
The thing that makes Node.js different from all those other libraries is ECMAScript. Actually, the thing that makes Node.js so great is that ECMAScript is crap, or more precisely that the ECMAScript standard library is crap. In ECMAScript, you practically can't do anything: you can't read files, load scripts, access the network. You can't even access the friggin' web, which is kind of ironic for a web scripting language.
When you are within the event loop, you cannot make any blocking calls. However, pretty much the entire Ruby IO, File and Dir classes, as well as the networking and database libraries and so on are all mostly synchronous and blocking. (And the same is true for pretty much all of the other languages as well.) So, when you write code in EventMachine or Cool.IO or Twisted, you have to be very careful which methods you call and which libraries you use in order to avoid accidentally making blocking I/O calls.
In ECMAScript, you cannot accidentally make blocking I/O calls, because you simply can't make any I/O calls at all: there are no I/O functions in the ECMAScript standard library.
Which means that any I/O functions you might want to call, have to be specifically implemented for Node.js. And obviously, if you implement it specifically for Node.js, you do it in an asynchronous fashion. That's what distinguishes Node.js from, say, EventMachine or Twisted: the fact that the entire I/O library was built from the ground up for Node.js. If you wanted to do that for EventMachine, you would first have to rip out the entire existing Ruby I/O library and then rebuild it from scratch. In ECMAScript, there's nothing to rip out and nothing to rebuild. You simply start with the "right" design from day one.
And that's exactly what Ryan did.
Another difference between EventMachine and Node.js is that Ruby programmers are typically trained in a synchronous mindset. ECMAScript programmers however, usually start their career with the DOM, which is completely asynchronous. (Ever wondered what the A in AJAX stands for? Asynchronous JavaScript and XML!) So, they never even know that something like synchronous I/O even exists! It's like that old joke about learning Chinese: it can't be that hard, even two year old Chinese kids speak it …
To make it short:
*Node.js + webapp-stack (like for example express.js) can be used for web development and so it could replace rails for your web development needs.
I'm not sure how many people are paying attention, but there are some kick-ass node frameworks out there right now:
Railway.js - a full stack MVC framework inspired by Rails3, with a revolutionary ORM a.k.a JugglingDB which handles multiple databases of any kind. No more agonizing over whether MongoDB or Postgres is the best fit for your app. Mix your SQL and NoSQL easily
There's also Tower.js - Similar to Railway but with additional application structure for client-side MVC, which is sweet because you can share server and client code and stay DRY. It also comes bundled with Design.IO, which gets you live browser updates as you code. Very cool.
These are probably fairer comparisons to make with RoR. They both provide a lot of the same functionality, including I18n support, ORM, middleware, plugins, package management, routes, templates, mailers etc. Neither is as well-documented or battle-tested as Rails. But they do get you very far considering their youth and small footprint, and in some ways surpasses Rails in core functionality.
Both of these fledgling Rails Killers are built on top of Express, an excellent, fast and hugely popular node.js REST framework, which is not unlike Sinatra with a little Padrino mixed in
It's worth mentioning that the node ecosystem for extensions/plugins are thriving right now as well. You can have file uploads, image/audio/video processing, authentication, pagination, etc. I'm currently just playing around with it but so far I'm not missing to much. Got Jade to replace Slim, Stylus to replace Sass, Passport.js instead of Devise, Formidable instead of Paperclip (or DropUp for dragging image uploads) People bitch about node not having any libs but that seems to be changing fast.
In response to your original question as to whether Rails will soon be "over", Giles Bowkett recently wrote an entertaining rant on the subject.
I think the spirit of the question is, "Is node.js the next big thing?" I truly think the answer is yes.
Node.js or a similar server-side javascript framework could have the ability to be "the" global language for web development. Lets not pretend here. Most developers are looking for the next big thing when it comes to languages and frameworks. It's attractive to know the languages and work with projects that have huge community support, and have mass appeal.
With all of that said, I honestly don't care that much for Javascript syntax, it feels like delimiter soup. But I can definitely see the benefit of having a common front-end, back-end language to help reduce duplication, and speed up application development.
Also with Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft all so interested in the technology, I think this is the way things are going whether we like it or not.
There's a lot of excitement about Node.js at the moment because of its evented IO architecture and its superior performance at handling concurrent connections. For traditional language environments like C, Java, Ruby, etc evented IO is generally superior to either of serialized IO or threaded IO for performance and scalability. However, languages like Erlang can boast vastly superior IO performance using concurrent lightweight processes.
But Node.js is just an evented Server not a web framework. I have a feeling that what will eventually "replace" Rails will be Async Rails. Using Ruby 1.9 fibers and Event Machine (Ruby's closest analogue of Node.js) Rails can be made fully asynchronous and boosting performance and scalability of a single instance.
So no need to rewrite Rails in Javascript to get async IO. It's already available.
node.js and Ruby on Rails are two completely different things, Rails being a framework for web applications. Node.js would never "replace" Ruby on Rails because they're apples and oranges. You could create a Rails-style web-application framework on top of node.js (like we have CakePHP for PHP), and in that case node.js would be "replacing" Ruby.
Long story short, node.js offers some interesting scalability features but neither Ruby nor Rails are going away anytime soon.

Reload the page and try again.
The majority of students are Mormons, and there is a very high percentage of white people, although there are still non-Mormons and people from different countries and cultures.
BYU has limited parking spaces for student parking, but there are lots of bike racks on campus, and many apartments are close enough for people to walk to campus. BYU also has a bus called The Ryde that runs three times an hour and only costs $100/semester. The public transportation also provides discounted bus passes for students.
Local Atmosphere:
Provo is a very Mormon place, and so it can be a little bit boring. Although there is a lot of diversity and lots of different cultures, there aren't very many non-Mormons here.
The night life on campus is basically non-existent (except possibly in the freshman housing). But they have club night once a week, and people are always doing fun things like game nights, movie nights, or going dancing. There is no/very little bar scene because it is against BYU's Honor Code.
There are classes for every class imaginable from stage make up to world dance. The professors are great and really know their stuff, although a lot of the time there is a large work load.
You can print on campus for 7 cents a page for black and white and 14 cents a page colored. There are printers in every building, and you use your student ID card to print.
Drug Safety:
Because of BYU's honor code that all students agree to live by, virtually no one drinks or does drugs. It would be shocking if someone did.
Health & Safety:
I feel pretty safe on campus and when walking to and from campus.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living in the trees area allows one to walk to the campus in under 15 minutes.
Greek Life:
There is no Greek Life at BYU
I have my own laptop at college, but there are computer labs everywhere on campus readily available for use. The library is great for those wanting to work and may even have laptops, but just left them at home. The wireless is pretty great, just not as good when you go down to basements for classes.
Campus Housing:
I live in the freshman dorms at Helaman Halls. I LOVE the social atmosphere, and the wards are super fun. It's great as far as location to campus, and the fact that we're almost forced to be social and outgoing really helped out my freshman year, and from that I've made copious amounts of friendships; ones that I think will last a lifetime. They keep the dorms very clean, and the size may be a little small, but it's a great started freshman dorm.
Off-Campus Dining:
Lot's of places that are close enough to walk from campus, great choices, and lots of variety.
Local Atmosphere:
I believe a national poll from 2012 listed the Provo/Orem valley as the Most Optimistic Area in the U.S with an overall 70% of the population happy and optimistic about life. You can definitely feel why when you go here. The overall surroundings both physical and social are very welcoming. You'll definitely feel comfortable here!
Traffic at BYU isn't so bad, but definitely getting out of the valley is sometimes a time consumer. Transportation within the immediate vicinity is fairly good and easily accessible.
Great professors (usually) and an excellent curriculum. Very well rounded education and dedicated degree programs.
Autumn, Spring, and Summer are awesome seasons at BYU. The temperature is usually just right for enjoying the outdoors. The winter is, well, winter, so expect to wear the jackets and scarfs for at least 4 months of the year (Late November thru as late as March)
The University has really made it streamlined, and invite everyone to apply for scholarships and the aid that they need. Of course, many of them are needs based so if you can't show that you really need it, you might as well just get a job.
The athletics facilities really are top class, and the Student gym is up-to-date and very accessible. Overall the student population is fairly active in sports and the school spirit really binds the students together.
Campus Strictness:
Because BYU is affiliated with the LDS Church, it has VERY high standards of morals and ethics. Violations of the higher kind (alcohol/drug abuse for example) are taken very seriously.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many good apartment/condo complexes to choose from, and the rates are very reasonable. Also, the University requires that they are registered with them in order to provide housing to students, so there are quality standards to maintain.
The whole main campus is basically one huge hot spot and it uses the same connection throughout, so no need to constantly reconnect your device once it's registered.
Health & Safety:
Really efficient health center staff and they treat you as an individual. And there is barely any crime at all. I think the most broken law is J-walking!
Drug Safety:
For alcohol, BYU has won the title "Stone Cold Sober" School for years now, but of course it exists (but you really have to go looking for it). As for drugs, they definitely exist as well but because of the overall Mormon population and the school's Honor Code, you also have to go looking for it if you want to find it.
Being part of the "Ethnic Minority" myself (I am a full Pacific Islander), the student body and professors are very respectful to me and my culture. In fact, they have what's known as the "Multi-cultural center" which is devoted to helping those of other cultures and races feel welcomed. Yes, sometimes it's awkward being among so many white people, but it's no problem because it's really easy to make friends here.

A BYU experience is unlike anything else. The things that you will learn go far beyond what is taught in the classrooms, and the people that you will meet are exceptional. Researching the school, and being familiar with the rules and expectations of students, will make the transition smoother and help you get the most out of your BYU experience.
Talking with people who have attended, reading books such as this one, and looking at the BYU Web site (www.byu.edu) are all great ways to make sure that this is really the school for you. If you decide that BYU is what you want, then jump in and enjoy it! You are in for a great and character-building experience.

Location: McKinleyville
Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies arrested an Arcata man early this morning after responding to a noise complaint. Shortly before 3:00 AM deputies were sent to the 1300 block of Brady Court in McKinleyville due to a noisy party. Officers from the California Highway Patrol and sheriff's deputies found a man passed out in the mud across the street from the party. When the deputies approached the sleeping man they discovered he had a large plastic bag of marijuana in his hand (later it was weighed; it weighed 53 grams). Deputies woke up Zeke Weiner, 33, and placed him under arrest for possession of marijuana. Weiner became angry and kicked the arresting deputy in the face.Weiner was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional where he was booked for possession of more than an ounce of marijuana, possession for sale, and assault on a peace officer. Weiner's bail has been set at $25,000.

Flasheteer Nimbus breathes on its HALO, gives it a rub
Rival Pure hits it with double bod nab
Combat fraud and increase customer satisfaction
Nimbus Data has updated its all-flash array operating system, HALO, adding analytics, a REST API, and mobile phone access with HALO Mobile.
HALO is Nimbus' OS that powers its Gemini, E-CLass and S-Class all-flash arrays. The analytics features include:
- Real-time and historical monitoring and reporting capabilities with 200+ metrics tracked, including flash endurance, capacity utilisation, latency, power consumption, deduplication rates, and overall system health
- Detailed port, host, and session-level statistics, with trending over time and looks at specific data points at fine-grain intervals
- Customized dashboards highlighting areas of interest
- Built-in benchmarking to create IOPS and throughput workloads to validate system performance<br< - Statistics are stored in an industry-standard RRD format, enabling customers to utilise Nimbus or third-party charting tools to view the results.
A HALO dashboard
The REST API, Nimbus says, "captures all available statistics to feed into existing management software and analytics tools. [It] lets anyone build application-specific plug-ins, even full management software."
HALO 2013 features
HALO Mobile supports IOS and Android phones and is available in the iTunes and Google Play stores. It uses the REST API "to allow users to monitor system events [and] view dynamic live charts." Such smartphone interfaces are limited in usefulness, Vulture Central thinks, because of their small screensize.
Staff drain continues
Up and coming all-flash array competitor Pure Storage gained a pair of staffers from Nimbus. Nimbus senior systems engineer Dick DiRisio left, we understand, in January this year, and joined Pure Storage in March as an account executive.
Nimbus' eastern US sales region VP Mark Sullivan also joined Pure, in January we understand, to become its NE region sales manager.
Pure Storage has gained almost $100 million of venture capital funding and is spending some of that cash to build out its international infrastructure and develop its products. Its development is accelerated relative to self-funded Nimbus Data because of this funding.
HALO 2013 is free of charge to all existing Nimbus Data customers with active support contracts. ®

I witnessed something interesting once while I was playing blackjack. The dealer, about every 15 minutes or so, would yell out a card, and low and behold, that exact card would appear.
Dealers are not paid enough to spar with players
I have been a dealer for almost 20 years. Blackjack players love to argue about what the correct strategy is to be played.
Reader catches discrepancy in blackjack basic strategy
I noticed on your audio that you advised standing on nines versus a dealers two. However, your strategy card that was included with the audio shows splitting (SP) nines against a two.
Loose slots and loads of goodies
Do you have a favorite place to play quarter slots in Las Vegas? What casino has the best returns?
Slot machines are rigged mathematically, and not with a screwdriver
No matter what you write, you will never get me to believe that slot machines are rigged. That said, I still enjoy your column, so keep trying to convince me.
A combo of different wagers won't help against the house edge
Dear Mark: Is there a way of combining multiple wagers on a roulette table to maximize one's odds and increase my chances of winning?
I'm talkin' Quick Draw McGraw fast!
I attend free slot tournaments when invited and wondered if there are any tips you can give to do well besides hitting the button quickly.
Surreptitious jackpot shrouded in mystery
My friend dropped three five-dollar coins into a slot machine. While I was laughing at him for even trying, he bet "max bet" and pulled the arm. Much to our surprise, up comes Cherry, Cherry, Cherry, and bells and whistles start going off with $50,000 flashing on the top.
Using Final Jeopardy tactics at blackjack
A few weeks ago I got into the final round of a blackjack tournament. When we got to the final hand, the three remaining players with chips, me being one of them, had nearly an equal amount of chips remaining. It felt like we were on the game show Jeopardy, and it was the final question.

If you've already downloaded Free Nintendo DS Lite Game Roms but still do not have any idea how to install and play with it, then do not fret. There is a simple procedure in doing it.
After this complete step by step tutorial, your NDS Rom games will be automatically copied into your R4DS and you'll be able to play like a pro. I assume that you use Windows XP or higher and you have sufficient computer skills to follow me through.
1. Unzip the zip file you've downloaded using your favorite unzip application. Keep it in a safe place for future use.
2. Remove your microSD card from the R4DS cartridge.
3. Insert your microSD card to the microSD USB adaptor that you got when you bought your R4DS.
4. Insert the microSD USB adaptor (where your microSD card is inserted) to your PC's USB port. Windows will automatically detect it.
5. Go to My Computer. You'll see a new drive in it. That's your microSD card. Double click it.
6. Copy the .NDS file that you unzipped on step 1 and paste it on the drive that you opened on step 5. Never paste it to any directory. Just paste it on the root directory. You only need to copy the .NDS files, no more, no less, just ignore the other files that goes with the zip file.
7. Safely remove your USB drive when done copying all the NDS files. I guess, you know how to do this. If not, ask anyone around you.
8. Remove the microSD card from the microSD USB adaptor.
9. Insert the microSD card to your R4DS cartridge.
10. Insert your R4DS cartridge to your Nintendo DS Lite.
11. Turn on your Nintendo DS Lite. If you followed all the directions above correctly, you'll be able to see the copied games on the list of games on your R4DS now. Enjoy!
Of course, please note that copying game ROMs to your R4DS is illegal, unless you have the original copy of the game and you're just copying the backup file. R4DS is definitely NOT illegal, it's how you handle and deal with it that could make it illegal. So just make sure that you're copying a back-up of your games. Enjoy!

As in all her other novels, James begins Shroud for a Nightingale by sketching out the setting – a district training school for nurses. Beneath is the mental setting – a walled-in, all-female atmosphere where sexual escapades and passions, however shrouded they may be, prevail. There is subservience of nurses to doctors, students to their teachers, of women to men. The first murder is that of a student nurse during a demonstration. Even ...

While I was busy lamenting, sort of, the loss of top-ranked American Andy Roddick, I barely mentioned his opponent, Janko Tipsarević. I knew this was a mistake the moment I found, on the Serb's Web site, the list of his "favorite books of all time":
- Genealogy of Morality
- On the Other Side of Good and Evil
- The Idiot
- Writings from the Underground
- Counsels and Maxims
A friend had noted that Tipsarević, with his goofy glasses and beard, looked a lot like Ali G, one of the comedian Sasha Baron Cohen's characters. But I now realized he most resembled a young, hip adjunct professor of philosophy. He wore a headband and full beard, even in the heat, and his meandering pace between points seemed more suited for pacing, deep in thought, in a low-lit study. So, inspired by his reading list, I showed up early for his third round match Saturday with Nietzsche on my iPhone, looking for insight into the mind of an athlete. I found it quickly:
In our hearts we are basically concerned with only one thing—to 'bring something home.' As far as the rest of life is concerned, what people call 'experience,'—which of us is serious enough for that? Or has enough time? In these matters, I fear, we've been 'missing the point.'
In this case, that 'something' would be the U.S. Open trophy, or, at least, the extra fifty thousand dollars given to those who reach the fourth round. Tipsarević has yet to bring much home—he's never won a major tournament—but seems to be the rare member of the tour content with rewards of the mind. The tattoo on his left forearm—"Beauty will save the world"—comes from Dostoevsky. He decorated his back with Schopenhauer, and has two favorite painters: Dali and Caravaggio. He has begun writing a book of his own, "but it is still far from anything serious."Continue Reading >>

Commitment to academic achievement and adherence to member-created rules are vital parts of the NCAA's mission to integrate athletics into the fabric of higher education. NCAA member schools create rules to ensure that the Association's 430,000 student-athletes compete on equal footing. Various NCAA committees and the national office staff members work to make sure rules are applied fairly.
The NCAA requires Divisions I and II student-athletes to make appropriate annual progress toward earning their degrees. This progress is measured in several slightly different ways in the two divisions, including credits earned toward a degree and minimum grade-point average requirements.When Division I or II student-athletes fall short of these academic requirements, an institution can pursue a "progress-toward-degree" waiver to restore eligibility for competition. To qualify for such a waiver, institutions must document the mitigating circumstances that caused the deficiency. A common circumstance is a student-athlete facing a serious medical issue or other personal hardship.

Most of these waiver requests are assigned to a staff member at the NCAA national office.
Staff members can approve, deny or conditionally approve a waiver request. The conditional approval means a student-athlete must meet certain requirements to remain eligible. An institution must demonstrate how the condition was met; if the student-athlete fails to meet the condition, the decision reverts to denial.
A Division III student-athlete must be in good academic standing and meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements at his or her institution. In addition, NCAA rules require Division III student-athletes to enroll in no less than 12 credit-hours per term to compete in athletics. A Division III institution that wishes to pursue a waiver of the 12-credit enrollment requirement for a student-athlete must document the mitigating circumstances for why the request should be granted.
Institutions may appeal staff decisions to the Division I Progress-Toward-Degree Waiver Committee, the Division II Academic Requirements Committee's Subcommittee on Progress-Toward-Degree Waivers or the Division III Management Council's Academic Issues Subcommittee. Appeals are heard via teleconference. Members of both committees are administrators and faculty from NCAA schools.
Those membership groups have the same outcome options as the staff: approve, deny or conditionally approve. In Divisions I and II, their decisions are final. In Division III institutions may appeal to the management council which makes the final decision.Last Updated: May 31, 2012
